Summary of Sancho Family Tree

Please take the necessary time to share your thoughts with me - relative to the list of surnames mentioned below which were that of persons who were known to be relatives and /or associates of the family of one of my great aunts at Nabaclis.

Not forgetting the KLASS (KLOSS), MAJEED, PERSAUD, and DOS SANTOS, WONG AND WRIGHT, WHEELER, STOREY, and GIBSON, SHEPHERD and REECE, VIEIRA, FERNANDES, DE FREITAS, ARNOLD and WALLS, NEIL and GARRAWAY - All make up the Sanchos paradigm and should not go unmentioned.Hollingsworth, Jenkins, and English - may seem to complete this list but there are still quite a few families’ names that have not been mentioned. They, too, make up the paradigm, though unmentioned.Thank you all for being a part of the Sancho family and associates from the “roots” to the “top of the tree”. We are still trying to find the connection with a few of them, but we know there is one. WARD, AGOSTINI, BLACKMAN and LONG – you are too important not to be a big part of the whole. So, too, STEWART, ROBINSON, HEROD, OGLE, MILLER, WALDRON, MULLER, FRIDAY, BARKER, POLLARD, POOLE, SOBERS and BEHARRY.

PLEASE NOTE: there are a few surnames listed which I could not understand the hand-writing. Also, note, I may have made mistakes in the effort to decipher the hand-writing of our dear relative.I must also state; I would have loved the mentioning of names of individuals including false names relative to the family names. However, I am very grateful that our relatives have taken of their time to offer their view of our legacy. The task is to locate folks who will point researchers in the much needed direction. Thereby, accounting for the understanding of the links to the kinship of Sancho – which may have existed between the groups of families.Allow me to also add a number of the surnames were and are a complete surprise to me. I never realized they were perhaps resident in the Golden Grove and Nabaclis village District and/or the nearby communities on the upper East sea Coast of Demerara. I observed many were known to me as being resident in the city of Georgetown. What do I know? I am what they refer to as a baby boomer – a Johnny comes lately.

Are you aware of Samuel David and Mary (David)Sancho of Golden Grove? Samuel David was a Sergeant of British Guiana Police Force. Samuel David departed in 1945 or 1946. Mary David and Clarence Sancho were married. The couple had about seven children. Much respect to Wainwright for pointing pieces of information on the David and Sancho union to me some 43 years ago. Who must I consult to acquire the knowledge relative to David family especially the descendants of grand Uncle Clarence Sancho?

On Friday, March 20, 2009, I visited the New York Public Library, Humanities and Social Sciences (Research Division). I accessed copies of the Trinidad and Tobago year books for the years 1921 thru 1935. I paid particular attention to the obituary, which is found immediately following local events in the publications.

I made notes of the data of persons with the surnames of interest to me. At this instance I cannot locate the entire documentation.
In the yearbook for the year 1929 data is found telling readers that Mrs. Elizabeth Sancho, 92 years old died on November 30, 1928. I suppose she was born in either 1835 or 1836. (perhaps, wife of John Sancho??)
In other issues of the yearbook entries listed below are included.
Mrs. Rupert Sancho died November 13, 1924 (Possibly, Chinese-Trinidadian)
John Baptiste Sanco died February 17, 1920. (I believe data will prove this John Sancho to be perhaps too young to be an uncle of Lambert Tuckness Sancho, for I am of the impression Sancho male…
